Subject: Re: Effect of rangequeries with RandomPartitioner

Thanks Aaron for your response. Some follow up
questions/assumptions/clarifications :

1. With RandomPartitioner, on a given node, are the keys  sorted by
their hash_values or original/unhashed keys  ?
2. With RandomPartitioner, on a given node, are the columns (for a
given key)   always sorted by their column_names ?
3. From what I understand,  token = hash(key) for a RandomPartitioner,
and hence any key-range queries will return bogus results.  Although I
believe column-range-queries should succeed even in RP if they are
always sorted by column_names.

-Thanks,
Prasenjit
